Finally, we got enough snow in the Himalayas to ski, but a very serious unstable snowpack, presently we have 4-5 feet of snow at 4300 ms, this is a low average snow base! First time in thirty years! Thin snow storms and long sunny days convert snow into grains, melting process in a day and freezing in night temperatures, giving nice finishing to grains, ready to roll!

The last storm brought 2 feet of snow, covering the 2 feet of shallow big grains, size of 3mm, Even at 25-30 degrees slopes are sliding and on the lee side some slab avalanches as we need one more heavy snowstorm to flash the unstable snowpack. Our Gulmarg back-country ski and snowboarding trips will start on 20th January 2023 and Heliski First of February 2023! Have a great winter.
